We are, all of us, surrounded by clouds, both in the sky above and to an ever-greater extent by cloud computing. The exhibition In the Clouds presents works from the 1800s to our own time. Using diverse approaches to science and technology, many of the works reflect themes of current interest at the time they were made. They show, among other things, how clouds can be seen as carriers of dreams, ideas, freedom, myths, structures, threats and opportunities. From the 1800s we are showing works by J. C. Dahl, Peder Balke, Knud Baade, Hans Gude, Lars Hertervig, Kitty Kielland, Prince Eugen, Olaf Lange and Anders Beer Wilse. Except from the Swedish Prince Eugen all the artists are Norwegian. Many of the lived and worked abroad – foremost in Germany and France. From our own time we are showing works by Per Kleiva (NO), Antony Gormley (UK), Mari Slaattelid (NO), Marte Aas (NO), Torbjørn Rødland (NO), Philip Andrew Lewis (US), Jone Kvie (NO), Tomás Saraceno (AR), Berndnaut Smilde (NL), Cory Arcangel (US), Matt Parker (UK), Sandra Vaka (NO) and Marie-Luce Nadal (FR). I addition we are collaborating with the international organization The Cloud Appreciation Society.
